Furthermore, there was the princely since 1811 Thurn and Taxis ' sche domination Court Woerth, from 1850, the district court of the same name was built.

District Offices
From an administrative point of view, the Regensburg District Office was formed in 1862 through the merger of the regional courts of the older order of Regensburg and Wörth. The regional courts Regenstauf and Stadtamhof were also merged to form the Stadtamhof district office in administrative terms. However, the city of Regensburg did not belong to these districts.
On the occasion of the reform of the layout of the Bavarian district offices, the Regensburg district office received municipalities from the Roding district office on January 1, 1880 when the municipality of Pittrich was ceded to the Straubing district office . At the same time, the Stadtamhof district was expanded to include the districts of Hemau (was dissolved), Kelheim and Roding.

The Stadtamhof district was also expanded in 1879 with the addition of communities from the neighboring Hemau, Kelheim and Roding districts. The area of the city of Regensburg expanded significantly in 1924 through incorporations at the expense of the Stadtamhof district. On October 1, 1929, the Stadtamhof district office was finally dissolved and its area assigned to the Regensburg district office.
On April 1, 1938, the city received the municipalities of Dech Betten , Großprüfening and Ziegetsdorf from the Regensburg District Office.
